The Indian automotive retail is at an inflection point. Today’s dealerships offer a platform for multiple transactions and a first-hand brand experience,which is making auto dealerships more important than ever. Dealerships are also being innovative and adapting to needs of the future.

However, their good work and achievements are seldom recognised and rewarded. Time has come to put the best-of-the-best on the pedestal and celebrate their endeavours.

The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (F A D A) - the apex body for automobile dealers in India and Autocar Professional – India’s largest automotive B2B media, have joined hands to create a platform that recognises and rewards the excellence in automobile retail.

F A D A Awards is aimed at picking the best-in-class dealerships and their practices. A carefully thought through process will ensure that the nomination, scrutiny and evaluation journey is transparent and unbiased. These awards is the only platform for celebrating automobile retail in India.

The awards are divided in 4 categories encompassing the entire spectrum of automobile industry: 2-Wheelers, 3-Wheelers, 4-Wheelers and Commercial Vehicles. An able panel of jury will make the nominees go through a carefully drafted and rigorous judging process. The process is also designed to highlight various special initiatives undertaken by the dealerships in order to stay ahead of the curve. The awards will be hosted on the February 9, 2018 at Hotel Le Meridien, New Delhi.
